The team that sent Butler away suffered seven consecutive defeats, and the team that got Butler ushered in seven consecutive wins, which is certainly not a simple matter of addition and subtraction, but such a comparison is indeed a bit tragic.

Playing the Grizzlies without Morant today, even if they can't beat it, the way the Heat was directly beaten by JJJ completely broke through the bottom line of the fans, and it can be said that there is no face at all. Some fans said: The first time I felt that watching the game was an ordeal. In today's game, the Heat trailed by 27 points after the third quarter, and Spo directly conceded defeat in the final quarter and gave up the game one quarter early.

The Heat's seven-game losing streak, losing to the Cavaliers, Celtics and Timberwolves can be explained as really unbeatable, but losing games like the Hornets and Bulls is completely unjustifiable. Herro's three-point shot was a mess, and Adebayo inexplicably lost his desire to attack, scoring no more than 10 points in two consecutive games.

Playing the Celtics and the Clippers, Adebayo only shot 7 times, and the Heat team itself is a poor offensive team, 21st in the league in offensive efficiency, and there is no offensive starting point after Butler leaves, and Adebayo will go to be a blue-collar again, and the team's offense is completely unwatchable.

Herro was in poor form, and Adebayo didn't want to play, so that the new Wiggins became the Heat's No. 1 attacker in many games. Wiggins played his worst game since coming to the Heat today, and the Heat's bad hand seemed to spread across the team, and Wiggins scored only 8 points on 1-of-5 three-point shooting.

More worrying than bad hand is Wiggins' game today, Wiggins played three quarters and didn't have a single rebound. This is the first time he has zero rebounds this season, which also shows that Wiggins is not very committed to the game.

Prior to today, Wiggins was averaging 19.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in 10 games with the Heat. The Heat combined 193 points in the first 10 games of their career, the highest since James. It is worth mentioning that after only scoring 8 points today, Wiggins Heat's career average of 18.3 points per game has come to 18.3 points, which is another 18-point gentleman who can't beat it.

Truth be told, when Wiggins plays so much in a team's offensive system, you should worry about that team's offense. Wiggins is over 30 years old, his career is difficult to change, his positioning is a 3D player, he can't take on too many ball-holding scenes, under the Warriors' system, Wiggins' style of play has been set.

The biggest difference between Butler and Wiggins is that Butler can be the core of a team, even if he can't score, he can help the team in various ways, and he can be the axis and lead the whole team. Wiggins, on the other hand, is not the axis, he can do the best he can within his ability, but it is difficult to have a decisive impact on the outcome of the game.

Not only Wiggins, but the whole Heat team is afraid that no one can do this axis. Herro is getting more and more nervous, Adebayo has not advanced but regressed this season, both of them have been All-Stars, but the current level is not even a quasi-All-Star.

So sometimes you can understand Butler, Riley wants Butler to play support for these two people, and the key is that these two people don't have the ability to carry the game. Butler is indeed old and his abilities have deteriorated, but his spirit is still there, so he runs away.

With Butler's departure, the tide receded, and the Heat were swimming naked. Have you noticed how amazing it is that no one has been bragging about Spoo this season, and his use of personnel this season is also very problematic, and it has been mentioned before that he uses Rozier without brains.

Recently, he promoted Dunroe to the starting XI without warning, and then stopped playing time today after Dunroe went 0-0 from 3. Li Kaier couldn't get playing time before, and today he played 30 minutes. There are many examples that prove that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Thanks to the poor overall strength of the East, it is almost difficult for the Heat to fall out of the top ten, but the current strength also makes them basically have little hope of making the playoffs. Their 2025 first-round pick is 14 picks to protect, otherwise it will be given to the Thunder, and in order to keep this first-rounder, the Heat will not have any "shame and courage" script. In addition, they also have the Warriors' first-round pick this year, the top 10 picks protection, and this first-round pick is likely to be after the 20th pick.

Let's see what the Heat have to do in the offseason, otherwise the Heat's darkest hour may have just begun.
